Masizakhe: Building Each Other is a powerful, engaging, incisive, and hopeful chronicle of the journey of South Africans to overcome centuries of oppression and a testament to the strength of the human spirit to survive and envision possibilities against great odds. – James A. Banks, Director of Center for Multicultural Education, UW It is quite refreshing to see a film that does not depict South Africans as either victims or savages, but as creative agents trying to make sense of and deal with the effects of apartheid and the current struggles that neo-liberalism pose in South Africa. A moving documentary! – Shaheen Ariefdien – Emcee & Scholar, Prophets of Da City
